OK, now we are on one line again: AlL I wanted to say is that we do not have to worry about people using VMware for working on the hurd. In difference to other pieces of non-free software, we don't get dependent on this. Therefore it is really up to everyones philosophy whether they want to use non-free software. Of course, non-freeness is a drawback of VMware, but I have no problems telling people, that it *is* a good piece of code! But of course, that is my personal opinion, not GNU-opinion... :-) Ciao, Nobbi ---------------------------------------------------- Norbert "Nobbi" Nemec Hindenburgstr. 44 ... 91054 Erlangen Tel: 09131-204180 ... e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
